Exercise regularly; start a consistent bedtime routine; avoid caffeine and nicotine before bedtime; try relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga; take a warm bath before bedtime; don't stress about not sleeping which can make you stay up even longer; and I like sleeping with the window open for fresh air.

Try these steps :
* Try to go to sleep at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning. Do not take naps after 3 p.m.
* Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol late in the day or at night.
* Get regular exercise. Exercise during the day--make sure you exercise at least 5 to 6 hours before bedtime.
* Make sure you eat dinner at least 2 to 3 hours before bedtime.
* Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool. If light is a problem, try a sleeping mask. If noise is a problem, try earplugs, a fan, or a "white noise" machine to cover up the sounds.
* Follow a routine to help relax and wind down before sleep, such as reading a book, listening to music, or taking a bath.
* If you can't fall asleep within 20 minutes or don't feel drowsy, get up and read or do something that is not too active until you feel sleepy. Then try going back to bed.
* If you lay awake worrying about things, try making a to-do list before you go to bed.
* Use your bed only for sleep and sex.
See your doctor if you think that you have insomnia or another sleep problem.

Buy a new pillow. Do nothing but sleep in your bedroom - ie, don't watch tv, read a book, hang out, etc. Maybe try some relaxation CDs as you are trying to get to sleep, or some sort of aromatherapy? Lavender is good. Buy new sheets, blankets, anything to make you feel cozier and as though sleep time is a good thing. Cut back on caffiene, chocolate or other sugary snacks. Good luck and happy dreams!

Darkness, quiet, favorable room temperature, and an accustomed, comfortable bed favour a good night's sleep. So do regular sleeping habits-that is, going to bed about the same time almost every night-and a balanced pattern of living that is free from repeated abnormal tensions. A satisfying day is usually an invitation to a refreshing night's sleep.

Breathe - crazy as that sounds. Take slow deep breaths to relax yourself and try to think of your breathing only - that should help you to relax which should help you to sleep better.
